Abstract
We present the Forward Ocean Atmosphere Microwave (FOAM) radiative transfer model, a Python package designed to simulate passive microwave observations of ocean state, and discuss its basic architecture. FOAM is particularly useful for exploring concept architectures for future missions measuring ocean salinity from space. We discuss how FOAM can be used to design missions meeting a range of accuracy and revisit requirements, and we consider an example of ocean salinity retrieval with a wideband radiometer system.
